After reading the article, he makes it seem like there was a period of time when chom was a great rock station. Not to burst teds bubble, but while it sucks that astral took over, chom's choice of music sucks. it sucked before astral was in the picture, it sucked when they switched to classic rock, and it sucked before that when they would play very cheesy top 40 hits.
It's too bad the working conditions changed, but in terms of good rock music, when compared to stations in other cities/provinces, chom has always been way down in the bottom of the list.
